What is the ENGAA?

The Engineering Admissions Assessment (ENGAA) is an exam used by Cambridge University as part of their assessment process for candidates applying to study Engineering.

The exam is designed to be demanding, and to test the applicant’s skill at applying their scientific and mathematical knowledge. This 2 hour exam consists of:

A two part section consisting of 20 questions on Mathematics and Physics, and 20 questions on Advanced Mathematics and Advanced Physics (60 minutes)

20 multiple choice questions on Advanced Physics (60 minutes).?

Calculators may not be used in either section.?

Tests take place in early November.

How can Keystone Tutors help you prepare for the ENGAA?

The ENGAA is a challenging test for candidates wishing gain a place to read Engineering at Cambridge University. The Tutors we represent are experienced in helping candidates perform well under the pressure of the ENGAA, which is designed to stretch even the most academically able students. They can help your child to develop speed and accuracy by working with them on sample questions and practice papers, and providing detailed feedback on how to improve performance. They can also focusing on reinforcing those topics in Mathematics and Physics which your child finds challenging, to better enable them to distinguish themselves against the strong competition they will face in the ENGAA.
